Bible Study

The purpose of Bible Study is not to gain ready-made answers or to put a lid on the truth. It is, rather, to gain a deeper understanding of the mysteries of God. Such understanding always leads to more questions to ponder. Bible Study is a regular part of our Adult Faith Formation program at St. Thomas More. Through prayer, small group sharing, lectures, and home study we work our way through scripture. Bible Study affords us an opportunity to accept the challenge of St. Paul in his letter to the Romans 12:2 to be "transformed by the renewal of your mind."


 

Our upcoming Bible Study is full. If you feel called to take part in it but did not register, please reach out to Karen Schwaner Sheehy at 725-204-7319 or karens@stmlv.org privately to discuss options. Also, we encourage you to check back on this webpage for new opportunities.
